The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

This restaurant has turned into our 'go to' venue for a night out when an Italian meal is called for. The food is created with enthusiasm and care and the service always bright and breezy. If you have wondered about it, can I suggest you give it a go - I'd be very surprised if you didn't enjoy your visit. The menu has great classics and some new twists as well.

Pretty, friendly restaurant with lovely service. The pizza was absolutely outstanding! Can also recommend the delicious pasta ragu. Next time I’m going to try the ravioli.

Carlo's is fantastic! Really accommodating for vegans. Fantastic food. Fantastic people. Fantastic night! The waitress was superb!

This is assolutamente fantastico, the staff was lovely and the gelato tasted amazing with loads of different flavours. Would definitely recommend

Laurel and Alex catered for our wedding this year and we can no recommend them enough! We love Mediterranean food and wanted something as a tapas style and they came up with the most amazing sounding menu....We were absolutely blown away when we went for the tasting session with them and they made the whole process really stress-free. There was not 1 person at our wedding who was not bowled over by the food we had on our wedding day and we still have friends and family talking about it now and wanting the recipes!!! We just want to say a massive thank you to Alex and Laurel for going above and beyond to help make our day unforgettable and we will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!!!

The best ice cream I have tasted in UK. Took me 25 and odd years to taste something the real Italian gelato (if not even better). Unfortunately limited choice of flavours for my likening but what we tasted was all amazing. Brits please don't stick to vanilla, chocolate and raspberry. Push your boats. The orange and saffron was delicious. Home made cones is an extra bonus too. Well done. Or should I say: Bravi, mamma mia!

vistied for a meal for 4. all food served was hot, well prepared and enjoyed, including provision of a pizza box for take home.

I discovered Pasta Out during lockdown, so unfortunately there was no availability to sit down and eat within, but the golden side to this was that I discovered their lovely take away service. The pasta is absolutely beautiful, so much so, that I will only have dry pasta in the house for emergencies only. There is a great choice of freshly made pasta and if they don't have any left, they will make it for you there and then. Easy to cook and beautifully fresh, soft and tasty. Highly recommended.

Stopped in for a bit after walking past to and from work daily for far too long, no more! Great choice, great staff, busy enough to make you interested and wow! I had the New Yorker and a coffee, well it is safe too say I will be back. The New Yorker was awesome and at a price you werent expecting for Windsor! Thanks

So pleased this little restaurant has reopened. We were made very welcome and had a lovely meal. We had a prawn risotto and lasagne, both delicious and we then shared a tirimasu. Portions are generous with some nice complimentary additions of breadsticks, homemade pesto and cute little homemade ice creams when we asked for the bill. Cosy place with a small menu offering traditional food which is tasty and well presented. A choice of red, white or rose wine (italian and very drinkable) beer or soft drinks to accompany your food. Prices are very reasonable and the family are welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit and will return again.

The Italians that run this cafe are so lovely. The manager helped me with my baby and they were so quick to get me anything I wanted. Nice sofa in the window too!

Honestly this place was quite average. Had heard good things about the food but we were quite disappointed. The calamari was chewy in places and the pepperoni pizza looked and tasted like a frozen pizza (harsh but truth). I ordered a dish off the specials which was listed as chicken alfredo. I feel as though they definitely should specify on the menu that this is NOT pasta and that it is in fact chicken in a mushroom sauce with potatoes. It tasted fine but nothing to rave home about. We were a little disappointed as we were seated in the snug at the front which was cramped and draughty. The staff were pleasant enough, no complaints there. Unfortunately wouldn’t return.

We popped in here on the off chance on our first day of our holiday and received a very warm welcome. We had a lovely meal of olives, cheese & pizza and the owner was friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was delicious and the restaurant is just a lovely and relaxing place to be. We hope to go back again before the end of our holiday!

Always a warm welcome from the amazing Ombretta & Ante. It feels less of a bar and more like an extension of home, with friends!
